ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly for a motor vehicle includes a centerpiece assembly which indexes to a predetermined orientation during rotation of a rim. The wheel assembly includes a spindle rotatably attached to the rim which defines a spindle axis. The centerpiece assembly is attached to the spindle. A first plurality of magnets is attached to the centerpiece assembly and a second plurality of magnets is fixedly positioned behind the rim. The second plurality of magnets creates a magnetic field which aligns with a magnetic field created by the first plurality of magnets and thereby indexes the centerpiece assembly to the predetermined orientation. The centerpiece assembly is preferably inertially neutral with respect to the spindle axis.
